Melora
Home from the Hospital
Aug 20, 2009
I came home yesterday afternoon. Everything went very well, and my surgeon called the operation "uneventful and boring". Just what I wanted! So, now I am home, trying to remember how to drink an oz. of fluid every 7-10 minutes when I am awake. It's tedious, to put it mildly. It feels like I have gone from a problem with overeating to a problem with underdrinking.Other than that, recuperation seems to be going just fine. It's strange to feel full so easily after being so hungry on the pre-op diet that I thought I would eat anything, organic or not! This is sooooo much easier than the pre-op work, albeit for the soreness. This too shall pass.
One sad thing, though. I was not home an hour when I got a call that a very dear friend of mine had died quite unexpectedly. She left another local hospital about the same time as I, but in a very different way. I am now dealing with this grief as I try to heal. I have tried to do what I can to help. I spent the day notifying friends and colleagues by email and phone about her death and funeral arrangements. At least I could do something instead of just lying around. I just hope I am ready for the memorial service on Saturday. It will probably be pretty taxing on me, but I will NOT miss it.
So now, I sip water, I sleep, I spend a lot of time online, I read, I sip, I sip, I sip!!
Cheers!
